Internships 2016

The Commission is seeking applications for internships for January to June 2016.

The internship program provides a practical understanding of the promotion and protection of human rights through the Commission's statutory functions. Internships are unpaid and based in the Commission's office located in Sydney.

To be eligible to apply, students must be in their final or penultimate year of an undergraduate degree or any year of a graduate degree at an Australian university at the time of the internship. Given the high volume of applications and limited organisational resources, priority will be given to students who are Australian citizens or permanent residents.

The Commission strongly encourages applications from students with a disability and students from an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander background.

For information on how to apply, please read the Internship Program information.

Applications should be emailed to internships@humanrights.gov.au by 5.00pm on Friday 16 October 2015.
